About Rebalance

The Rebalance Foundation is a brand new charity dedicated to making a difference for anyone affected by a diet-related disease. Diabetes, obesity, heart disease, strokes, some cancers…

Why do you need us? Because no one else does what we do, is the short answer. We are the specialists in nutrition and lifestyle advice. We don't involve ourselves with funding medical research, glucose testing, or technical devices. Others do that well... we'll stick to what we know best, and you can trust.

It seems that everywhere we turn these days we are bombarded with messages about the effects of food and lifestyle on our health. Foods that cause damage. Foods that are “miracle cures”, “wonder foods” “superfoods”. Foods we shouldn’t eat. Foods we must eat.

Is it just us, or is all that information just a little bit confusing? We are here to cut through the confusion, bringing you clear, effective, unambiguous advice, information, guidance.

Yesterday Public Health England were telling us fruit juice could be counted as 1 of our 5-a-day. Today we see headlines telling us that fruit juice is as bad as fizzy sugary drinks. Eggs are bad, eggs are good. Nuts are too fatty. Nuts are wondrous. Contradictory headlines all around. No wonder we don’t know which way to turn.

Well here’s the truth. The only diet that’s right for you is the one created especially for you! Your diet has to support you – your health, your lifestyle, your goals. You are a unique individual. Your diet needs to be uniquely developed for you too. We are going to help you work out exactly what you need for you! We are the charity that will help you to identify exactly what you need, providing all the resources you need to build your own diet and lifestyle plan, and staying in touch to help you follow your plan and get the results you will love.

We are totally not-for-profit: your success is our only success. So we want to hear about your success – because that’s what keeps us going! We’ve got some great success stories to share with you, and we can’t wait to share your success with others.

Sign up today and get started. We have lots of free resources for you. For others we have to charge a very small fee – just to cover the costs of bringing the information to you. We are here for you, please get in touch and stay in touch. This is the start of a beautiful friendship!

Our vision

“To protect our children, young people and future generations from diet-related chronic disease”

Our mission

It is our aim to provide clear nutritional and lifestyle information and guidance to any stakeholder to ensure our children, young people and future generations have the greatest opportunity to get the best from their lives unhindered by diet-related chronic disease.

We need you!

We all need each other. The Rebalance Foundation is here for anyone who needs us. The reality is that we need you to help us to help others.

Here’s what you can do to help us:

Talk about us. Tell everyone who might need us that we are here, ready and waiting! Get them to get in touch and be the person who helps your own friends, family, loved ones to get the best out of us.

Give us your feedback. We want to hear from you. Tell us how we are doing. Tell us what more we can do. Tell us your success stories. With hundreds of millions of people around the world experiencing diet-related chronic diseases, we’ve got our work cut out. Help us to help you!

Get involved. A charity can only function with funds and goodwill. We’d love to have your goodwill to help us raise the funds we’ll be needing if we are going to make the impact we know we have the potential to make. Can you donate to help us continue our work? Can you help with our fundraising activities? Can you be there for us, so we can continue to be there for the people who need us?

We are so grateful to everyone who has helped us so far, and will help us in the future, and have no hesitation in saying a huge THANK YOU to all our heroes. Maybe you will take your place on our Can’t Thank You Enough page soon?

We got great results, you can too...

Most of the people who come to Elaine have been struggling with their diabetes for years, thinking that declining health is inevitable. This simply isn't the case. There is a growing band of people getting the results that you would love. Click on any image to watch and read their stories.

" I tried lots of ways of dealing with my diabetes but it wasn't successful. Elaine showed me the importance of diet in the treatment of diabetes. It's really made a massive difference to my health. I've lost a lot of weight, and live a more healthy lifestyle. "

" Thanks to Elaine’s advice, just 6 weeks later my blood sugar levels typically range between 5.8 and 7 – hitting my target perfectly. I have lost 5kgs in weight; and my family have all noticed that “I am a different man! "

Have fun while you support us...

Healthy Active

Research shows that being moderately active benefits your health. We endeavour to encourage everyone to move your bodies more. You don't have to be a sporting hero to reap your rewards but we are always grateful to those sporting heroes who support The Rebalance Foundation.

The Rebalance Foundation entered two teams into the Yorkshire Marathon Corporate Relay on Sunday 9th October 2016 in and around York. Click here for the photo gallery.

The Twice in 24 Hours Challenge saw two crazy heroes walk the legendary 3 Peaks of Yorkshire twice, back to back. Starting at 7.30pm on the Friday, Dav and Gav set off in the direction of Pen-y-ghent. They were next seen at midnight ready to climb Whernside. By breakfast on the Saturday they had completed all 3 peaks once, and were ready at the foot of Ingleborough to start all over again. Thanks to all the people that supported them and walked some of the way with them on the second time around, encouraging them and making sure they completed the challenge.

The next great event in 2018:

Our intrepid David is planning to walk the 268 mile Pennine Way in 10 days carrying full gear, and camping wild, in aid of The Rebalance Foundation.

As soon as the Just Giving pages are up and running, we'll keep you posted and we'd love your support.

The Blue Ball

Every year November is International Diabetes Awareness Month and we've earmarked this as the time to hold our annual balls. The International Diabetes Awareness symbol is a blue circle... hence the name of our "Blue Ball". Our Inaugural Blue Ball was held on Friday 25th November 2016 at Fairfield Manor Mercure Hotel, York. It was a fun evening with a school prom theme, including an expert balloon modeller, a top master of ceremonies, and live entertainment by The Mojos. The guests enjoyed a sumptuous banquet of healthy foods - the guests were amazed that healthy food could be so luxurious and flavoursome! The whole evening showed off exactly what The Rebalance Foundation stands for.

"That was the best charity ball we've ever been to - I'll be booking a whole table next year!" - Jon Charters-Reid

Everyone is welcome and we really hope you'll be able to join us for an evening of a healthy gala dinner, live entertainment, fun, laughs and good times. Tickets will be on sale soon - a bargain at £49 per head, or £450 for a table of 10. Please contact us to make your advance booking.
